LONDON—A man accused of being a member of a white supremacist group campaigning to start a race war in Britain pleaded guilty on Tuesday, June 12, to plotting to kill an elected Member of Parliament (MP).

Jack Renshaw, 23, admitted buying a machete described by its manufacturer as “19 inches of unprecedented piercing and slashing power at a bargain price”, for the purpose of killing opposition Labour MP Rosie Cooper.
